In short, no. Your ecu is fairly well tuned from the factory. The RSX-S is a little different, its a flashed base upgrade, and just sets up the RSX ecu to be more agressive on the fuel and timing maps. Honda trys to keep emissions down thats why. Just remember, is 240 for S100 + install + 400 dollars of dyno time worth 5-10HP?
NO!!!!!!!

Basicly at your stage, your money is better spent elsewhere. If you were running very agressive cams + HIGH compression then hell yah, hondata is the way to go.

BUT thats my opinion, hondata will gain you power, but the price per dollar, you could do alot more elsewhere.

DROP ITR CAMS, thats a 10-15whp bolt on right there.

 

damn your good! haha tnx man

 

i was pushing 180hp out of stock b20 bottom w/ b16 head w/ ITR cams intake manafold and throttle body and a cat. STOCK b16 ECU and STOCK injectors set at 55psi.
it wasnt worth it to spend 700 dollars for 5hp
I'd rather put the money elsewhere.
